Whole Grain Buttermilk Sweet Potato and Chocolate Chip Pancake Recipe

My kids love pancakes. They especially love chocolate chip pancakes. This recipe was inspired by my friend Tania who used to make these for her boys. She used to add condense milk into hers and it was crazy delicious. But I am trying to watch the calories so instead I came up with this recipe. I love the taste of sweet potato and it's a great way to add more fibre into their diets. I use one baked sweet potato and mash it for this recipe. However, their are times when I use a jar of baby food as a substitute when they didn't have any sweet potatoes in the store. I played around with the ingredients and you can definitely use what you have to make these easy pancakes.
